Not feeling it this year either 🎃

Ok, can’t leave us hanging. _What_ “awful old horror movies”??

Partial myself to 50’s radioactive giant insects.

TCM ran a Bowery Boys vs. Monsters marathon a couple years ago. It was awesome! No one can murbelize the English language like Slip Mahoney. I’ll have Monster House on while I pass out the candy, as usual. Highly recommended.

Pumpkin soup

Mmmmmmmmmmmm

Pumpkin Curry Soup

(all US measures)
2 Tablespoons butter or olive oil
½ cup diced onion
One 15 oz can pumpkin puree (NOT pie filling with spices)
1 ½ cups water or chicken broth (use boxed chicken broth if you can)
1 teaspoon curry powder (or more to taste)
½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
pinch cayenne
1 cup milk or half and half (half& half is better)

Heat the butter or oil in a medium pot and saute the onions 5 or 6 minutes until they are clear and soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the pumpkin, water or broth, curry, salt and cayenne. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. Add the milk or half and half and simmer on very low heat for another 5 minutes. This soup is ok on the first day but really good on the second day.

Now I’m hungry! And not for chocolate covered ants, either.

On sale today I picked up a three plus pounds of gorgeous lamb loin chops. They look like little miniature T-bone steaks. We haven’t done this kind of cookery in a long, long time so I’m looking for advice/recipes.

We like ’em braised, or the Instant Pot equivalent. We’ve got one of those, a crock pot, and a large electric frying pan with a good lid. We do NOT have either a skillet or Dutch oven with a decent lid. Cooking time is not an issue. Short is good, long is good, too.

There are too many options on the ‘net. We get confused.

Suggestions, please!

p.s. Just so this isn’t a total thread hijack, I’ve got to hand it to Stoaty. I absolutely LOVE that Meh-o-lantern!
